Hoivold Having Hard Time

Hoi vey
Hoi vey
An up and down sort of day for Andreas Hoivold over on the Table Of Doom -- or rather, a down and then up sort of day, which is always more pleasing.

First, the down.

Hoivold and one other player saw a {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {J-Spades} flop, which the other player checked to Hoivold. Hoivold bet 3,400 -- but the other gent check-raised to 10,000 and Hoivold gave it up. Down to 22,000.

A little while later, after some admirable clawing, Hoivold got involved in a monster of a pot, calling a preflop raise from a gent in early position to see a {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} flop.

Mr. Early Position bet out 1,300 and Hoivold made it 3,400. Call.

Mr. Early Position proceeded to check-call 5,625 form Hoivold on the {10-Spades} turn and another 8,400 on the {6-Clubs} river -- but he couldn't beat Hoivold's {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a full house.

Up to 53,000.
